We offer support in the following two domains

We execute capital-markets strategies that helps your business succeed.

Companies embarking on new business or capital market transactions, whether through an initial public offering (IPO) or via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), or by obtaining green and sustainable financing through schemes announced by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), face new challenges due to increasingly stringent compliance and regulatory requirements. With the evolving reporting requirements, the scrutiny on accounting and financial reporting has never been so high and the digitalisation of the finance function is also playing an increasingly important role.

Whether the ultimate choice is through an IPO, SPAC, or direct listing, businesses need to objectively assess their readiness for operation as a public company.

We build trust through accounting advisory.

At PwC Singapore, we help organisations tackle accounting and reporting challenges with confidence. Our Accounting Advisory team combines deep technical expertise with cutting-edge digital finance solutions to streamline processes and enhance compliance. From resolving complex accounting issues to providing flexible managed services, we deliver end-to-end support that drives efficiency and strategic insight.

Seasoned expertise guiding every stage of your business

Initial Public Offering (IPO)

An IPO marks a pivotal milestone for any organisation, and preparing to be a public company is just as critical as starting up the business itself. Achieving the full value of an IPO demands confidence, clear decision‑making, and a strong foundation for long‑term success — our team is here to assist you every step of the way.

SPACs are increasingly attractive as a liquidity pathway, offering a significantly faster route to going public than a traditional IPO — but they also come with their own complexities. Our PwC team helps you navigate these challenges with confidence, providing the specialised insights and support needed to maximise value throughout your SPAC journey.
